Acan Coral

Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Acan Coral is a Micromussa or acan large-polyp stony coral with fleshy polyps. This WYSIWYG Acan Coral is an LPS coral suited to reef keepers seeking a fleshy-polyp Micromussa or acan for a lower to middle reef position. Provide measured light, gentle indirect movement, and room from nearby corals.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving the coral into brighter conditions, and avoid sudden increases in intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps with direct, aggressive current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement, allow it to settle, and adjust only gradually if its lighting or flow needs change.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. Acans are semi-aggressive, so avoid close contact and give the coral room to reduce the risk of stinging interactions.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but maintain gentle flow during feeding so food can reach the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after placement or changes in maintenance. Avoid abrupt increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually while preserving adequate spacing from surrounding corals.

Give this coral stable care, gentle flow, and space to settle.
